P. v. Melendez
Janet Melizandy Melendez appeals from a judgment after a jury convicted her of unlawfully taking a vehicle with a prior conviction and grand theft auto, and found true the street terrorism enhancements as to those offenses. She argues (1) insufficient evidence supports the jurys findings on the street terrorism enhancements, (2) the trial court erroneously admitted gang expert testimony, (3) the court erroneously denied her new trial motion, and (4) the court erroneously ordered her to pay the victim $130 in restitution. Because we conclude insufficient evidence supports the jurys findings on the street terrorism enhancements and we reverse those findings, Court need not address her claims the court erroneously admitted gang expert testimony and denied her new trial motion. Her claim the court awarded restitution in an incorrect amount has no merit, and we affirm the judgment in all other respects.
